What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release (MFR) is a technique that applies gentle, sustained pressure or slow controlled rolling movements while gradually increasing pressure for several moments in targeted areas of the body to facilitate the release of tension in your fascial system.

What is Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga is a passive style of yoga in which we move into deep-stretching yoga poses for an extended period, usually 2 to 5 minutes. The goal is to relax in the position completely allowing your muscles to soften more and more. Through this relaxation, the stimulation and pressure reaches into your deep connective tissue, where fascia, ligaments, tendons, bones, and joints can be gently stressed creating a release of the accumulated tension.

The powerful combination of Yin Yoga and MFR techniques relieves pain, increases mobility and range of motion while creating more flexibility from head to toe. This practice can increase your internal and external body awareness and thus develop a better feeling for what is currently serving your body and your energy system.
